If you enabled this how I think you did, it is probably more touble
than it's worth. A lot of templates on wikipedia and other places
are sloppy with case, which you can solve using #REDIRECT for pages
but I have not figured out how to solve for namespaces.
My experimentation with this option caused templates to cease being
useful, so I reverted to using the {{lowercase}} template from
wikipedia instead of enabling this option.
